The Project I3 – WG2S will advance indigenous gender equality for women and girls across social and economic conditions by supporting the creation of a succession of transformative innovation and catalyzing large scale system changes to improve lives in Indigenous communities across Canada, allowing Indigenous innovators from the I3-WG2S project to achieve their fullest potential and share in Canada’s prosperity. Indigenous gender equality refers to the United Nations Briefing Note No. 1 on Gender and Indigenous Peoples that recognizes that there are even further gender influenced gaps for Indigenous peoples.

The project will fund innovative projects to assist Indigenous women in Canada to overcome the barriers they are facing in their communities. The I3-WG2S will respond to the technical and financial needs, as well as other barriers faced by Indigenous women and girls, including 2SLGBTTQQIA people, and in particular innovators and entrepreneurs, through three tiers of support/components. The Capacity Building Component and the Seed Component, using WAGE’s contribution of up to $8,744,582 in matched funding toward 50% of the total project cost; and the Transition-to-Scale Component, using Grand Challenges Canada’s matched funding of up to $8,744,582 toward the total project cost.

Grand Challenges Canada will ensure that WAGE’s contribution of up to $8,744,582 to the Project will focus specifically on the advancement of Indigenous gender equality for women and girls across social and economic conditions. Grand Challenges Canada may use its contribution of up to $8,744,582 toward the cost of supporting the advancement of gender equality for women and girls, including 2SLGBTTQQIA people throughout its cycle, to identify, propose, assess and identify the solutions to the most pressing gaps and challenges, and to bring the opportunity to solve those grand challenges in their communities.

An important challenge in the operation of TGPs is the level of tightness required for the operation. TGPs operate in a saturated atmosphere and need to be airtight. The main objective of this project is to develop a low temperature Al-Al hermetic sealing method for TGP joints. The aim is to create reliable Al-Al hermetic seals at low temperatures to avoid damaging other components in the TGP.
